About the program
“I’m Ivana. I’m 37 years old — and yet, fourteen years ago, I was born again.
And I will never know what my life would have looked like if that hadn’t happened…”
What if we aren’t the ones steering our own lives?
What if the threads of our choices are pulled not only by curiosity,
but by something much quieter… and darker?
přistiŽENA (The Caught) is both a caress and a blow. It’s a deeply personal, raw experience that never flinches. It speaks about things we usually keep silent about. It asks questions we only dare to whisper to ourselves — and lets the answers resonate down to the bone.
A visually powerful, intimate, and physically demanding solo by Iva Eyry draws you into a space between aerial acrobatics, physical theatre, and documentary confession. On stage, the aerial silk, net, and punching bag intertwine. A liberating meditation inspired by Sufi mysticism merges with striking large-scale video projections, uncovering layers of emotion we often don’t even dare to name.
Every movement opens a question.
Every fall is an act of surrender.
Every turn shifts perspective.
Even the smallest flutter of an eyelid holds the power to defy fear.
The body speaks without words — and yet says everything.
přistiŽENA tells stories that were meant to remain forgotten —
from the whispers of spiritual communities to the heartbeat of cabarets and strip clubs,
from intimate confessions to the euphoria of a flying body.
Stories of four women. Painful, truthful, and beautiful.
And you? What are you hiding in your story?
